[Project] Build a simple inventory system
This lesson covers building a simple inventory system with Julia's Dict, with the aim of combining what you have learned so far into a larger program.
Combine the dictionaries and loops covered so far into a program that manages stock. A Dict looks up and updates values quickly by key, which makes it one of the most frequently used data structures there is.
The sample code builds a stock dictionary with Dict("apple" => 10, "orange" => 5), reduces the stock with items["apple"] -= 3, and lists every product by taking key and value together with for (name, qty) in sort(collect(items)).
A common early stumble is the => dictionary literal. It differs from the colon : of other languages and takes a moment to get used to.
Structs, multiple dispatch, error handling — everything covered in these lessons — carries straight over into real numerical and data-analysis work in Julia as core skills. Well done.
